For the sheeting method, dip a cool metal spoon into the boiling marmalade. Raise it out of the mixture and hold it over the pan. Turn the spoon so the mixture will run out. If the marmalade forms drops that combine to form a sheet that hangs off the spoon, it is done. For the cold plate method, place a few small plates in the freezer. When you think the marmalade might be done, take a plate out of the freezer. Drop a teaspoon of hot marmalade on the cold plate. Let it stand for about 30 seconds and then tip the plate to the side. If it's done, the marmalade will move only slightly. See Also Preparing Jars for Canning and Boiling Water Processing You Might Also Like Cranberry Chutney Recipe With Apples and Oranges
